If you are just starting out and are trying to find a way to improve your sales, then you need to find the right auction imaging host site. A site that will make your auctions look more professional and make your items stand out, which will in turn make more sales. I have tried several that have worked quite well for me. So let’s take a look at some of the sites available.

This one has some great features and all at a really reasonable price too. I have not personally tried this one but I’m seriously considering it.
Inkfrog.com – If you want a good software program to manage your business, this could be the one for you.

You can take a product tour, and check out all that they have available. Plus you can look at their Template Gallery. They have Classic Inkfrog Templates, Classic Sparedollar Templates and New Inkfrog Templates. Note: Sparedollar had their own hosting site, and Inkfrog bought that site last year. Inkfrog is a low cost management partner with a flat fee.

I am presently using this site for all my auction hosting images, and it has been great. Setting up your auctions will be fun and easy. I would recommend this site to anyone.

I have used this site also, but only for a short time. I was in the process of running several ebay accounts at the same time, and it was more than I could handle and still be successful. That is the only reason I canceled the subscription. I would recommend this site to anyone, it is excellent!
